##NFT Artifact Name Chokwe Mask NFT ##Token Name CHKW ##Collection Aminites Chokwe Heritage Metaverse NFT Collection. This is a one-of-a-kind and rare collection of 54 +1 different pieces. Each tokenized piece represents one of the 54 African countries, and carries unique features of the African country it represents. The crown Alkebulan piece is dedicated to the whole of Africa. ##Provenance Chokwe Masks originate from the Bantu-speaking people who inhabit the southern part of Congo (Kinshasa) from the Kwango River to the Lualaba; Bachon region in northeastern Angola; and, since 1920, the northwestern corner of Zambia. #Culture This piece is an outstanding example of Mwana pwo (young woman) masks, a classic Chokwe mask genre that honors founding female ancestors. Chokwe masks are often worn and performed by Chokwe men at the celebrations that mark the completion of initiation into adulthood. That occasion also marks the dissolution of the bonds of intimacy between mothers and their sons. Such representations are especially significant given that the Chokwe trace their descent through their mothers' lines. #Removal Timeline The original of this mask was taken away from Congo Kinshasa in the early twentieth century by a Belgian, Jules Auguste Fourche and held in a private museum until July 31, 1946, when it was acquired by the Museum of the Belgian Congo. #Current Location The original of this ancestral Chokwe mask is currently being held at the AfricaMuseum (www.africamuseum.be) (Inventory No: EO.0.0.43143) in Belgium. Other variants of this Chokwe Mask are also being held at foreign museums such as the Brooklyn Museum (www.brooklynmuseum.org) ( Accession Number: 69.168.2) in New York, USA, and also at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (www.metmuseum.org) (Accession Number: 2003.288a, b) in New York, USA. #Own A Piece of African History Acquire this non-fungible token of African historical artifact to own a part of African History and to appreciate the uniqueness of African Art heritage. Part of the sale proceeds will be used to support African Artifact repatriation campaigns and preservation efforts in Africa. #Reclaiming African heritage Along with our mission to encourage the return of Africa artifacts in foreign museums to their ancestral roots in Africa, a key part of our objective is to promote and celebrate the classical beauty and cultural significance of historical African artifacts on the metaverse.
